Call for Papers

PoEM�2008 IFIP WG 8.1 Working Conference on The Practice of Enterprise Modeling: from Business Strategies to Enterprise Architectures Stockholm, Sweden

http://www.his.se/iki/PoEM2008

Important dates: 30 June 2008, paper submission deadline 15 August 2008 notification of acceptance 12-13, November 2008, Conference

Aims and objectives

Enterprise Modeling (EM) has gained substantial of popularity both in the academic community and among practitioners. There is a variety of EM methods, approaches, and tools developed and offered on the market. In practice they are used for various purposes such as business strategy development, process restructuring, as well as business and IT architecture alignment and governance. PoEM�08 aims to establish a dedicated forum where the use of EM in practice is addressed by bringing together researchers, users and practitioners. The conference program will feature paper presentations and interactive discussion sessions. More specifically the goals of the conference are: - to develop a better understanding of the practice of EM - to contribute to improved EM practice - to share knowledge among researchers and practitioners - to form a community of researcher and practitioners - to develop a research agenda on the practice of EM

The conference theme is EM in different application contexts, e.g. software development, including agile development, as well as business development, governance, and change.

Topics relevant for submissions include, but are not limited to, the following:

- Evaluation of EM methods from a practice perspective - The process of modeling and guidelines for modeling - Management of EM projects - Use of EM in different contexts - Facilitation and group dynamics - The competency of modelers and modeling teams - Model and process quality aspects - Reuse of enterprise models - Modeling languages - The use of EM in different contexts - Tools and workbenches - Enterprise model management - Success factors in EM - Teaching the practice - EM and agile development - Enterprise knowledge architectures - Standardization issues and reference models - Method engineering in EM - Concordance between EM and information systems development

Paper types:

Experience papers present problems or challenges encountered in practice, relate success and failure stories, or report on industrial practices. The focus is on 'what' and on lessons learned, not on an in-depth analysis of 'why'. The practice must be clearly described and its context must be given. Readers should be able to draw conclusions for their own practice.

Research papers describe original research contributions (theoretical, methodological or conceptual) to the area of EM. A research paper should clearly describe the situation or problem that is tackled, the relevant state of the art, the position or solution suggested and the potential or the evaluated benefits of the contribution.

Evaluation papers evaluate existing problem situations or validate proposed solutions with scientific means. Scientific reflection on problems and practices in industry also falls into this category. The topic of the evaluation presented in the paper as well as its causal or logical properties must be clearly stated. The research method must be sound and appropriate.

Idea papers can describe completely new research positions or approaches, in order to face to a generic situation that arises because of, for instance, new methods and tools or new types of emerging EM challenges. They must describe precisely the situation and demonstrate the shortcomings of the current methods, tools, ways of reasoning, meta-models, etc.
